Marcos 11
1 Cuando llegaron cerca de Jerusalén por Betfagé y Betania, frente a la Montaña de Los Olivos, envió a dos de sus discípulos
Now when they were approaching Jerusalem, near Bethphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives,
2 y les dijo: Vayan a la aldea de en frente, y al entrar, hallarán un pollino atado en el cual nadie ha montado. Desátenlo y tráiganlo.
Jesus sent two of his disciples and told them. "Go to that village in front of you, and immediately on entering it you will find a colt tied, upon which no man has ever sat; untie him and bring him here.
3 Si alguien les pregunta: ¿Por qué hacen esto? Digan: El Señor lo necesita, y enseguida lo devolverá.
And if any man asks you, ‘Why are you doing that?" answer, ‘The Lord has need of him, and he will immediately send him back.’"
4 Fueron y hallaron un pollino en la calle atado a una puerta, y lo desataron.
So they went and found a colt tied outside a door, in the open street, and untied it.
5 Pero algunos de los que estaban allí les preguntaron: ¿Porqué desatan el pollino?
And some of the bystanders began to say to them, "What are you trying to do, untying that colt?"
6 Ellos contestaron lo que Jesús dijo, y los dejaron.
So they answered them just as Jesus had told them, and they let them take it.
7 Llevaron el pollino a Jesús, sobre el cual echaron sus ropas, y Él montó.
Then they brought the colt to Jesus, and when they had thrown cloaks upon it, Jesus seated himself on it.
8 Muchos también extendieron sus ropas por el camino, y otros, ramas que cortaron de los campos.
Then many spread their cloaks on the road, and others, soft leafy branches, which they had cut from the fields;
9 Los que iban adelante y los que [lo] seguían aclamaban: ¡Hosanna! ¡Bendito el que viene en Nombre del Señor!
and those who went before him and those who came after kept shouting. "Hosanna! Blessed be He who comes in the name of the Lord!
10 ¡Bendito el reino de nuestro antepasado David que viene! ¡Hosanna en las alturas!
Blessed be the coming kingdom of our father David! Hosanna, in the highest!"
11 [Jesús] entró al Santuario en Jerusalén y echó una mirada a su alrededor. Como la hora era avanzada, salió a Betania con los 12.
Then he entered Jerusalem and went into the Temple, and after he had looked around at everything, as the hour was now late, he went out to Bethany with the Twelve.
12 Al día siguiente, cuando salieron de Betania, [Jesús] tuvo hambre.
The next day after leaving Bethany he was hungry,
13 Al ver de lejos una higuera que tenía hojas, se acercó a ver si hallaba algún fruto, pero solo halló hojas porque no era tiempo de higos.
and seeing a fig tree in the distance full of leaves, he came to see if he could find anything on it, and found on it nothing but leaves (for it was not the time of figs).
14 Entonces Jesús dijo [a la higuera]: ¡De ahora en adelante para siempre, nadie coma fruto de ti! Y sus discípulos escuchaban. (aiōn g165)
So, addressing the tree, he said, "Let no man ever more eat fruit from you." And the disciples heard it. (aiōn g165)
15 Volvieron a Jerusalén. Entró en el Santuario y echó a los que vendían y compraban allí. Volcó las mesas de los cambistas y los asientos de los que vendían palomas.
Presently they reached Jerusalem, and, after entering the Temple courts, Jesus began to drive out those who were buying and selling there, and to upset the tables of the money-changers, and the stalls of those who sold doves,
16 No permitía que llevaran objetos a través del Templo.
and he would not allow any one to carry a vessel through the Temple courts, Then he began to teach.
17 Les enseñaba: ¿No está escrito: Mi Casa será llamada Casa de conversación con Dios para todas las naciones? Pero ustedes la convirtieron en una cueva de ladrones.
"Is it not written," he said, "My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations? But you have made it a den of robbers."
18 Los sumos sacerdotes y los escribas oyeron a Jesús, y buscaban la manera de matarlo, pero tenían miedo porque la multitud estaba maravillada de su enseñanza.
The chief priests and the Scribes heard this, and they began to seek means of destroying him; for they were afraid of him because all the crowd were greatly struck with his teaching.
19 Al atardecer salieron de la ciudad.
Now every evening he used to go outside the city;
20 Cuando pasaron por la mañana, vieron que la higuera se secó desde [las] raíces.
and as they (he and his disciples) were passing along in the morning, they saw the fig tree already withered from the root.
21 Pedro recordó y le dijo: Maestro, mira, la higuera que maldijiste se secó.
Then Peter remembered, and exclaimed, "Look, Rabbi, the fig tree which you cursed is withered up."
22 Jesús respondió: Tengan fe en Dios.
"Take hold on God’s faithfulness," said Jesus to them in reply.
23 En verdad les digo: Cualquiera que diga a esta montaña: Quítate de ahí y pásate al mar, y no dude en su corazón, sino crea que lo que habla sucede, se le hará.
"In solemn truth I tell you that if any one shall say to this mountain, ‘Up and hurl yourself into the sea!’ and shall not doubt in his heart, but on the contrary shall believe that what he says will happen, it will be granted him.
24 Por tanto les digo: Hablen con Dios todas las cosas y pidan. Crean que [las] recibieron, y se les harán.
That is why I am telling you that whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it shall be yours.
25 Cuando perseveren en la conversación con Dios, si tienen algo contra alguien, perdonen, para que también su Padre celestial les perdone sus transgresiones.
And whenever you stand up to pray, forgive, if you have anything against any one, that so your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses."
27 Volvieron a Jerusalén. Cuando [Jesús] caminaba en el Santuario se le acercaron los principales sacerdotes, los escribas y los ancianos.
Once more they came into Jerusalem; and as he was walking in the Temple courts, there came to him the high priests and Scribes and elders and asked him.
28 Le preguntaron: ¿Con cuál autoridad haces estas cosas? ¿Quién te dio la autoridad para hacerlas?
"By what authority do you do these things? or who gave you this authority to do these things?"
29 Entonces Jesús les respondió: Les pregunto un asunto. Respóndanme y también les diré con cuál autoridad hago estas cosas:
"And I will put one question to you," replied Jesus. "Answer this, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
30 El bautismo de Juan, ¿era del cielo o de los hombres? Contéstenme.
The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men? Answer me!"
31 Consultaban entre ellos: Si decimos del cielo, [Él] dirá: ¿Por qué no le creyeron?
Then they began arguing with one another. "If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will ask, ‘Why then did you not believe him?"
32 Pero, ¿si decimos: De hombres...? Temían a la multitud, porque todos creían que Juan era realmente un profeta.
On the other hand, if we say, ‘From men’!"They were afraid, however, of the people, for every one held that Johnhad been really a prophet.
33 Respondieron: No sabemos. Y Jesús les dijo: Tampoco Yo les digo con cuál autoridad hago estas cosas.
So their answer to Jesus was, "We do not know." "Neither will I tell you," said Jesus, "by what authority I do these things."
